For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
    and furious against all their host;
    he has (A)devoted them to destruction,[a] has given them over for slaughter.
Their slain shall be cast out,
    and (B)the stench of their corpses shall rise;
    (C)the mountains shall flow with their blood.
(D)All the host of heaven shall rot away,
    and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
    as leaves fall from the vine,
    like leaves falling from the fig tree.
